The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
